North-American Rig Count On The Way Up As Rest Of The World Declines
The Baker Hughes International Rig Count is out. I have decided to try something new with the charts. That is to compare the current year’s rig count with the previous two years count and to insert, within the charts, the percent change for this year as compared to last year. Also, this is the total rig count, Oil and Gas. Also the charts are not zero based. I do this in order to better emphasize the monthly change.
July usually sees a big jump in rig counts. This year there was a very tiny July increase, only a fraction of the increase we usually see for July.

*The Total International rig counts does not include the USA, Canada or the FSU. The Total International rig count was down 28 in July to 1118. Last July it was up3 to 1344.

The US rig count is leveling out. The US rig count was up 5 to 866 but that is still 1010 rigs or 53.84 percent below last July’s rig count of 1876 total rigs.

Canada’s total rig count increased by 54, from 129 to 183. However last July’s increase was 110 rigs, from 240 to 350. So this year’s July increase was less than half last July’s increase.
